mbexport has some bug - MaxListenersExceededWarning - please help, thanks.

Hello!
Syncing (several years old) multibit wallets has already taken > 24 hours, then it had some problem, and went back all the way to the beginning. Grrrrr.

Unfortunately, the private key export does not work unless the wallet is fully synced. Bad. Sad. Mad.

So now I am wondering whether I can extract the private keys myself, from the wallet files.
They start with 'org.bitcoin.production...' but the remainder is garbled binary stuff.

Which (open source) library could I use to decompose the multibit.wallet files?
I am good with python.

All wallets are encrypted.

Any pointer - thank you very much.

Enjoy the mooning

Actually, I found a tool now. And sad: MultiBit is declared dead. Long live Multibit.

The tool works in 7 out of 10 cases.

Anyone has any idea how to fix this problem?

Feel free to try them out if you like... they're basically just edited versions of gurnec's "decrypt_bitcoinj_seed" scripts. If you're using MultiBit Classic and a .wallet file, you're probably wanting to use: https://github.com/HardCorePawn/multibit_recovery#decrypt_multibit_classic_walletkeyspy

good luck, let me know if you need any help.
